Here's a new print hot off the press! It's an expanded version of an
Amazing Facts & Beyond strip from last year's baseball season, detailing the evolution of the St. Louis Cardinal's famous
Birds-on-the-Bat emblem.
3-color hand-pulled screenprint on ivory Canson Mi-Tientes pastel paper, 19" x 25". Here was a sketch:

The ink drawing & final digital art (Note how much copying and pasting I did of the birds once I had a few good ones drawn):

These will be debuting for sale (for $25) this weekend at the
Rock and Roll Craft Show here in St. Louis, next Saturday at the
Cherokee Print League Holiday Sale, and are available from me directly I reckon. Thanks!

Can I purchase a print of this and get it shipped? I'd love it for a Chistmas gift for my father-in-law. Please let me know stephanieliss at hotmail dot com.
